This book promises a theoretical as well as a practical approach towards the Internet of Things. From this point onwards, readers will understand the practical aspects of the technology. This section deals with the Android API for Bluetooth Low Energy. Although we are taking Android as a medium to study Bluetooth Low Energy for the most part of the book, we do realize the important of iOS platform. Hence, we will also discuss some SWIFT code in the upcoming chapters.

Overview of this book
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a Wireless Personal Area network technology aimed at novel applications for smart devices. High-tech BLE profiles and services are being increasingly used by application developers and hardware enthusiasts to allow devices to interact with the surrounding world.
This book will focus on a technical introduction to BLE and how it is reshaping small-distance communication. We will start with IoT, where many technologies such as BLE, Zigbee, and IEEE 802.15.4 Mesh will be introduced. The book will present BLE from an engineering perspective, from which the protocol stack, architecture, and layers are discussed. You will learn to implement customized projects for Peripheral/Central communication, BLE Beacons, indoor navigation using triangulation, and the Internet gateway for Bluetooth Low Energy Personal Network, all using various code samples and APIs on Android, iOS, and the Web. Finally, the book will conclude with a glimpse into future technologies destined to be prominent in years to come.
